I'm not very good drawing the ladies. Who should I start ripping off, John? I love katie's drawings, but they're so exquisite, i'm not sure if they're suited to learning by replication, what do you think?

Where did they send you this? Your profile doesn't include email. Or did they just post them in their blogs?

I really like Kali's version. Art's pretty accurate.

It's true that it's hard, the more cartoony you do it the more difficult it gets. I'm actually copying some of those drawings cause I like to draw sexy girls once in a while , but I want to learn to make them a little more cartoony.

wow awesomei know i would love to catch up on drawing cute girls and getting a chance to work under you john.

i am actually planning on coming out to north hollywood in late febuary to visit old college animator buddies of mine. If your interested in a 'new to the industry-yet would love to continue his studies' type...please let me know. I'd work for free in exchange for taking me under ur direction; i know so many of your friends learned such a great deal from you.

Heh, Sody's a cute character, It's no wonder people like drawing her. Kali's is fantastic by the way!I'm proud to say the Preston Blair book is paying off, an 8 bucks well spent. I've had it for some time and (gulp) I'm still only on the first page... so sue me, I'm taking my time! I'm a slow learner, but I'm really improving. Thanks for turning me onto it!

I've been reading this blog for about three monthes now, and I figured I'd post now that everyone seems to posting pictures of cute girls. But first I want to say that just three months ago, before I started reading, I was drawing in a [very bad] westernized anime look. I thought it was the cat's pajamas, and now I want to go back in time and beat myself in the face. In these three months, I've ditched that, practiced the basics of Preston Blair, and tried my best to soak up every word John has to say like a sponge. I know John's posted a few times wondering if his posts do any good, and I just wanted to share some fruit of my labor and his teaching:

Funny thing! my name is sody and i was just bored browsing the net and decided to just type my name and well now i'm here. Never did i know i would find s character names sody. And to add to it i actually have a log in name as sody_pop cause my friends call me that sometimes. Oh and Kali? well i have a brother who's name is Kali Adonis! too funny,funny!!!
